Welcoming Dr. Joan King

Greeting Shoreline Community!

I want to extend an enthusiastic welcome to Dr. Joan King as she transitions into the Shoreline community. Dr. King will assume the AANAPISI Program Director position, which was formerly held by Chippi Bello. She comes to Shoreline CC by way of Green River College and brings a wealth of experience with her. Dr. King has experience overseeing grants, which will allow her to hit the ground on good footing. Her work in the API community is extensive and she is eager to begin making connections that would serve our students well. The theoretical and practical knowledge she brings will be invaluable to all BIPOC and marginalized communities. I had the great honor of watching Dr. King present at the NW Regional Equity Conference last week and I was inspired by her passion and commitment to elevating the voices and experiences of the API community. Her military background provides a unique lens to inform our practices.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Joan King to our family. You are welcome to pop over to the AANAPISI Center this afternoon to say hello and grab a snack. 😊 I would be remise if I didn’t extend an extra special Thank You to Chippi Bello for pouring her love into the development of the grant and our wonderful Center. We honor you and look forward to the continued partnership.

The Arabian Nights Production in March!

The Arabian Nights is a full-length drama adapted for the stage by Mary Zimmerman from Powys Mather’s translation of The Book of Thousand Nights and One Night. Passionate, playful, provocative storytelling, The Arabian Nights examines the fascinating tale of Scheherazade. In the wake of discovering his queens infidelity cruel King Shahryar has soured on all womankind. Then theres no one left but clever Scheherazade. Can her 1001 cliffhanger stories keep her alive?

The Arabian Nights tells the tale of Scheherezades nightly telling of evocative tales. 1001 nights later the storyteller and listener are forever changed. A twelve-member cast enacts Scheherazade’s tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams. Scheherazade’s cliffhanger stories prevent her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her, and after 1,001 nights, Shahryar is cured of his madness, and Scheherazade returns to her family. This adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights with the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. The final scene brings the audience back to a modern day Baghdad with the wail of air raid sirens threatening the rich culture and history that are embodied by these tales.
